[Verse 1] Woke up to the dog in the stockings, Knocked the whole tree on the floor. There’s tinsel stuck to my boots again, And pine needles all over the floor. My cousin’s kids are screamin’, Someone burned the biscuits twice— But hey, it’s Christmas morning, And honestly… it’s kinda nice. [Chorus] ’Cause Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball— Too much food, too much noise, Not enough space in the hall. We’re laughin’ so hard That we’re startin’ to fall— Yeah, Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball. [Verse 2] My uncle’s stuck in the driveway, Spin-spinning tires on the ice. Grandma keeps spikin’ the eggnog up, Says, “Honey, one sip won’t hurt twice.” Lights keep blowin’ a fuse on me, The outdoor Santa’s half-deflated— But with every little mess we make, We just get more exhilarated. [Chorus] ’Cause Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball— Too much food, too much noise, Not enough space in the hall. We’re laughin’ so hard That we’re startin’ to fall— Yeah, Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball. [Bridge] And the gift wrap’s flyin’, Kids are cryin’, someone lost the tape… We’re runnin’ outta places To hide the cookies Grandma baked. But the chaos feels like magic, Even when we hit a wall— ’Cause love don’t fit in a budget, And it’s worth it, after all. [Final Chorus] Yeah, Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball— Too much food, too much noise, Not enough room for ’em all. But the joy keeps rising, Like the laughter through it all. Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball. [Outro] So pass me that lopsided fruitcake, And hand me my Santa shawl— ’Cause Christmas ain’t cheap, But we’re havin’ a ball.
